You know what would be real funny here? If in the next strip, the young hunky actor playing Mason’s young ward comes over and is all thrilled to see Mason, and hugs him. And then Mason introduces him to Cindy and says he’s bi . . . polar too.

It’s sort of funny how BatHack pretty much skipped over and ignored Cindy’s entire career so he could have her regress back into the obnoxious snotty insecure vapid Act I Cindy, like she learned absolutely nothing during her successful TV news career and experienced no personal growth whatsoever. Not “ha ha” funny, of course, but “wow, BanTom couldn’t write his way out of a soggy paper bag” funny.

If pressed, he could probably point to an arc that had her try to apologize to a victim only to get forgiven because no one cares about high school any longer and use that as giving her license to be stupid and mean again.

It’s interesting, isn’t it? The only characters who are pleasant and polite are the outsiders, like Mason and Marianne. Even Clay what’s his name of CME was openly welcoming and complimentary toward Les.

The core cast, on the other hand, are miserable nasty pieces of work. Not a nice one in the bunch. It’s like they live for zingers and just don’t care how awful they come across
